FOUND $250
If while on an outing, I were to see $250 cash on the sidewalk, I bend over and pick it up,
looked around and there is no one to claim it.
STEPS I WILL FOLLOW
- I will make all necessary effort to identify the owner, first by informing residents around the find
and leaving my contact phone number.
Place posters around strategic places about finding money, but not disclosing exact amount.
Utilize social media to do same if possible.
I will do all these, while keeping keeping secret the exact amount, denomination, nature of its wrap,
spot and day found. Utilizing these information to narrow down the owner.
I will give some reasonable period of 3 days to try locate the owner.
Why?
This I will do because authorities around me are not trusted to always do the right thing in cases like
this.
- But if after some days there is no positive response, I will handle the money over to the relevant
authorities.
Why?
Because of my religious principles. The law of karma, that whatsoever a person sows, so he shall reap,
meaning whatever thoughts or actions you put out, you get back — good or bad.
Taking that which does not belong to me and using it, is tantamount to stealing and I will definitely
pay back in a big way in the long run for my action, if not immediately. And this I will not want to
happen to me.
